Rejected petition: Make election manifesto promises legally binding.
Rejected on
I believe that political parties make claims within their manifestos in order to appeal to the electorate and gain votes with little to no intention of following through on them once elected (see our current government). As a result of this I believe that manifestos should be legally binding
Make claims and promises given during elections legally binding
